In a swimming pool, the time it takes for a

swimmer to complete a certain distance varies
directly with their swimming speed and
inversely with the resistance of the water. What
type of variation is referred in the statement: “x
varies directly as y and inversely as z?”
Combined Variation
In a local bakery, the amount of flour used
directly influences the number of bread loaves
produced. What type of variation is illustrated if
an increase in x causes an increase in y as well
and a decrease in x causes a decrease in y?
Direct Variation
In Mrs. Eudora’s Advanced Algebra class, the
students were learning about combined
variation - a concept that combines both direct
and inverse variation. To test their
understanding, Mrs. Eudora asked the formula
used for the combined variation. Which of these
equations is the CORRECT answer?
y = kx/z
During a cooking class, Layla discovered a recipe
where the baking time of a cake depends on
both the oven temperature and the quantity of
batter used. If the oven temperature increases,
the baking time decreases, similarly, a larger
quantity of batter increases the baking time.
What variation is described in this situation
where x varies directly as y and inversely as z?
Combined Variation
In a local farmer's market, Mrs. Garcia explains
direct variation using the equation y = kx, where
'y' represents the total cost of purchasing and 'x'
for kilograms of fruits. What does the variable ‘k’
stands for in solving problems about variations?
'k' is used to represent the constant in variation
equations.
Jake, a curious student in Mr. Dela Cruz’s math
class, became intrigued by exponents. Mr. Dela
Cruz wrote on the board the expression x^(1/2).
What kind of exponents is shown in the

Charles was struggling to understand the
concept of radicals in his math class. One day, he
asked his best friend, Gerald, "When do you say

In a local gardening experiment, the table below
represents the relationship between the number
of hours of sunlight (x) and the growth of plants

A group of culinary students needs to optimize
the quantity of a secret sauce. The sauce's
quantity, Q, is found to be jointly proportional to
the product of two key ingredients, m and n, and
inversely proportional to the amount of the third
ingredient, x. Which of the following equations
represents the relationship of these ingredients?
Q=kmn/x
You are in a garden, and you noticed that plant
growth (g) is jointly proportional to the amount
of sunlight (s) and the quantity of water (w). The
